Lender to provide Creditor with notice of additional advances or loans, notice of default, notice of acceleration of debt, notice of demand for payment or notice of repossession and the right of Creditor to require Lender to marshall any collateral.

with respect to the Property, will not take possession of, sell or dispose of, or otherwise deal with, the Property, and will not exercise or enforce any right or remedy which may be available to the undersigned with respect to the Property upon
default, without prior written consent of Lender, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

commencement of any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or reorganization proceeding.
